Baller scenes.

I just want to say that this movie showed the most accurate basketball scenes I have ever scene. I wonder if they had some NBA players on hand to make sure the scenes looked authentic. The dunks were especially awesome. I spent hours and hours playing NBA Jam when I was in the sixth grade so I should know good accurate basketball scenes when I see one. To find a movie with baller scenes as good as this one you might have to go back to Air Bud, or maybe even as fare back as Teen Wolf. What does everyone else think?

You think being able to jump, with no assistance of wires or trampolines, high enough into the air to not only frontflip but have your head above the hoop, and then dunk it is realistic?

If Little Red Riding Hood shows up with a bazooka an a bad attitude I expect you to chin the bitch

I was joking tough guy. Do you really read these things before you reply or do you just give ridiculous self righteous replies that don't even make sense? Read the post again and tell me if you think I was serious. The funny thing is that you didn’t pick apart Air Bud or Teen Wolf. I’m kind of embarrassed for you buddy. I might read through the post first before I reply man.

The only one I thought was queer was the when he was in a thong and he did, like, f[#ucking three front flips and slam dunked it. How the hell was that consistent with the rest of the movie? That's just retarded. It was something out of a bad slapstick movie, like someone dropped a page from the script of Scary Movie 4 on the 20th Century Fox lot.

Yeah, it is totally ridiculous. They present a high school kid doing dunks that MAYBE Michael Jordan could do. Even a guy the size of Metcalfe that could dunk, couldn't possibly achieve the altitude necessary to do the tricks they show him doing. And the sommersault before dunking? Has anyone ever even done that?

The front flip scene is the reason I recorded this movie, it's terrific. Great response by Tucker after coach yelled at him for fooling around that close to the playoffs.
